Sure, water is most dense at 4 degrees Centigrade. Imagine this on a scale. <-colder--0 (freezing)--4 (water is most dense)--warmer-> So you see in cooling water, when water hits 4 degrees C, it take
Larry: The key to this cunundrum is your statement "When water freezes and *turns* to ice..." (emphasis mine). Water and ice are two different things. When water, a liquid, freezes, the molecules re-
After my authoritative-sounding commentary on how water is most dense at 4 degrees celsius (and ice expands and your dog's bowl is busted) is refuted by Dan's statement here, I made a call to a profe
Neil: I must admit, I didn't know that bit about the temperature range around 4 degrees (but then I'm an electrical, so I can be excused!). I wonder why that is? Did your friend offer any explainatio
<< Does anyone know why this happens? Any explanation needs to be related to me in the lowest common denominator so I can understand it! I once asked my son to ask his science teacher this question.
Bob: If the clock is on this list, it is right about as often as I am! Left on my own, I would never be right (I run minutes per day slow!), but the members of this list "reset" me every now and then
<< All that really needs to be remembered is that too much water/ice makes for a diluted Jack and water. If you are sitting in a bar that is 4 degrees Celsius, get up and move before your drink freez
